Answer:

They tend to move away from any stimulus be it light or mechanical.

Explanation:

The earthworm, upon encountering a stimulus that is mechanical in nature will turn its anterior end slightly away from the stimulus. Persistence of the stimulus may cause the worm to contract the longitudinal muscles of the opposite side to move the body around taking a new direction. And they also have the behaviour of tending to move away from any light stimulus.

Answer:

Earthworms are very sensitive towards the odor.

They use it for locating the food in the soil. Because earthworms are dependent upon microorganism in the soil, they must be sensible for the presence of any food around them if they do not respond the odor then they may die.

Earthworms have the escape response so they quickly respond the external stimuli at the part they are stimulated. With the increasing frequency of stimuli at the same part they slowly decrese the response towards it.

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Coniferous means 'cone bearing,' meaning these trees don't lose their leaves every year. Deciduous means 'falling off' so those trees lose their leaves every year. I would assume the difference is that coniferous forests don't lose their leaves every year while deciduous forests do.

Which statement best describes the difference between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems? A. The sympathetic sy
kvv77 [185]

The correct answer is option B, that is, the sympathetic system prepares the body for stress and activity and the parasympathetic system prepares the body for rest.  

Both the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system are the components of the autonomic nervous system that works obligatorily. The sympathetic nervous system holds the key in controlling the body at the time of stress and injury, it is generally regarded as fight or flight. It contracts the muscles of the heart in order to enhance the rate of the heart.  

On the other hand, the parasympathetic nervous system is responsible to monitor the function of the body when it is at rest. It assists in sustaining the homeostasis in the body. It relaxes the muscles of the heart in order to reduce the rate of the heart.
